Okay so this issue probably only affects less than 1% of Gentoox users... But it's still driving me crazy only being able to use 640x480 (or 720 whatever it is!) in 480p component mode. I know it's probably taking a step backwards rather than forwards, but would it not be possible to add another option to xbvset for 'FORCED' output, so I can once again see the whole screen in 800x600?!!! Just a thought...

please this feature would be great because im using component video output for the dolby digital but my TV do not support progresive scan. so i have to switch to composite cable every time i want to use linux

My whole Gentoox installation is perfect aside from the screen size

Do you have a 1.6? If so, then there's really nothing that can be done unless some brain figures out how to manipulate the Xcalibur encoder without the data sheets.

If you have a 1.4/1.5, then you're stuck with fixed resolutions (480p, 720p only)
